#asiabudgetchallenge Fukushima is more than its past—it’s a serene escape filled with scenic lakes, retro towns, and warm onsens, all under RM250/day! Stroll through Ouchi-juku, a preserved Edo-period village with thatched-roof houses, then soak in a public onsen in Iizaka or Higashiyama. Don’t miss the majestic Tsuruga Castle in Aizu-Wakamatsu (entry ~¥410), and enjoy free views of Lake Inawashiro with Mount Bandai as a backdrop. Sample local specialties like Kitakata ramen for under ¥700 and stay at budget guesthouses from RM120/night. 💡Pro Tip: Visit in autumn for fiery foliage in Bandai-Asahi National Park—stunning views, no entrance fee! #fukushima #japantrip #hiddenjapan #myitinerary #budgettravel #thingstodo #offthebeatenpath
